>>35261224Surge went down like a ton of bricks thanks to Gnash and his newly acquired ability to dig holes. On the way to Rock Tunnel we made a new friend in Rumble and I promptly grinded him up to usable status while we traversed the cave.
His stay didn't last long though. Gary's Gyarados pulled out an unexpected hydro pump and sealed the deal in one blow. After burying our dead we made our way to Celadon, accidentally killing every encounter along the way. Defeating the rockets in the game corner was a trivial task and Erika proved no different, with the newly trained Chirp putting in most of the work with the help of Murmur.
Now we take the routes south to Fushia. Hopefully we can get some decent encounters before we get there.
